Yesssss .... we have a 'Sunny Sussex' morning .....
28th
December 2017 (Thursday)
.... 10.00 We have a perfect ‘Sunny
Sussex’ morning .... frosty with rime, and a wall to wall blue sky. It’s a lovely morning
for a walk, but the
pavements are icy, and will be so for a wee while yet. The sun is beginning to shift the rime, and,
if it’s still ‘wall to wall’ blue sky at midday we’ll be wearing shorts. In fact we have the same kind of morning
that you have in ‘The Royal Burgh’(I’ve checked the Fife Weather cameras) ....
but we don’t have a beach to bumble along.

My
cold is beginning to break and I’m beginning to feel better. I should stay in and keep warm today in an
effort to shift it quickly.....but, I must admit the temptation to go out is
very strong.
22.30 We have been watching ‘Endeavour’ on the
tele, hence the late update.
I
did go out ... eventually .... but not walking;
Janice Michael and I went to the ‘Blackboys Inn’ for lunch. It was busy, as all the eating out places
at this time of year. The southeast is
spoiled for choice when it comes to eating out.... and ‘The Blackboys’ is just
one of many countryside restaurants around this area of Sussex.
Anyway we ate two thirds of the Fiesta.... not that actual car, but two thirds of the
money I got for it. It was a lovely, (the
‘Troops’ had three courses I had two), lunch.... I had liver and bacon,
followed by Christmas Pudding; ‘Puku’
is enjoying Sussex! Oh, and we had
liquid refreshments; I had a half pint
of beer.

The
frost we had never lifted where the sun didn’t hit .... so although it’s been a
beautiful day, much like you’ve had in The Royal Burgh, it has been cold. Actually, when we left The Blackboys’, the
cold air
brought on a fit of coughing.
Having said that, the cold has broken, and I should feel fit enough to
go ‘downtown’ tomorrow, but I won’t bother with a haircut until after the New
Year, by which time I should be free of the cold. The fact that I had a ‘Janice Toddie’ about
half an hour ago will hasten it’s (the cold) demise!

Our
weather is forecast to get much warmer from tomorrow, though tonight should be
cold. We shouldn’t see any snow, which is forecast for the
Midlands .... and even ‘The Royal Burgh’ by the look of the weather map!
